One of the first things I had to do as a professional developer decades ago was figure out why a client’s homemade CMS was periodically losing all content.
Turns out the admin panel’s access check redirected guests away, but *did not terminate* itself. So a web crawler came in, got the redirect followed by the admin panel dashboard with a list of latest articles, and links to delete.php?article_id=123 next to each one… It dutifully crawled all those, and poof, no more articles.
